Pump It Up Austin review on November 12, 2016
Great place for birthday parties
We went to Pump It Up for a birthday party today. It was our first time there. When they took us to the room with the inflatables, I was a little disappointed at first since there were only 3 of them. Then I noticed that we had the entire room for ourselves. After approx. 40 minutes, they took us to the next room with 3 different inflatables. Again, we had the room for ourselves. The staff was always in the room making sure everyone's OK and having fun and taking pictures of all the party guests. The kids had a blast and 3 inflatables were perfect, even for a big group of 15+ kids. While we had pizza and cake, we could view all the pictures they took on a TV in the party room. They'll also send us a link to download all the pictures. Thumbs up!

Lago Vista Elementary review on October 9, 2016
Love our school
Teachers are great, facilities are safe, drop-off and pick-up is not bad at all (we expected worse). Plus, the school does lots of fun stuff that makes kids (at least our Kindergartner) look forward to going to school even more.

Quarry Splash Pad review on July 22, 2016
Favorite splash pad
We love this splash pad. There's a splash area for every age, shaded picnic areas, pavilions, a water slide, and a sand box. I would recommend to go there in the morning, the splash pad is getting more and more popular.

Express Kids Train review on May 28, 2016
Fun ride
My daughter loved the ride. The barrels look pretty small, but they're big enough for adults. I had my daughter on my lap. Price was very reasonable.

Austin Creative Reuse review on May 26, 2016
I want to move in!
First time visit and I love this store. I literally want to move in. I've got so many ideas from just walking through the aisles and can't wait to start crafting with my kids.

Austin Diaper Bank review on May 25, 2016
Such a good cause
Love the idea. My company hosted a diaper drive and we were able to donate 2,400 diapers to the diaper bank. Looking forward to our next diaper drive.

All Things Kids - Georgetown review on May 2, 2016
I want to be a kid again!
We love this store. Being from Germany (like the owner of All Things Kids), I grew up with a lot of the toys at All Things Kids. I particularly love the wooden toys and could spend hours in this store.

Mt Playmore review on May 2, 2016
All time favorite
Mt Playmore is the all time favorite of our kids. The place is huge so it never really is crowded. Plus, it's actually quite relaxing for parents. The playscape is a big rectangle and parents can chill on couches in the middle of it while watching their kids. 4 1/2 stars only because I wish they had healthier food options. But, we don't come here for food, so thumbs up!

Eat, Love & Cookies review on May 2, 2016
Sweet pieces of art and absolutely delicious!
Cony made the cutest and yummiest cookies for my daughter's 3rd birthday. She asked me what my little one likes and I told her she's into Frozen and horses. Cony surprised us with cute little horses, and Elsa + Olaf gingerbread cookies.

Inflatable Wonderland review on April 27, 2016
Kids enjoy it
Not the cleanest place and not the healthiest food, but the kids really enjoy it. Lots of different bounce houses. Never too crowded

PlayMazing Austin review on April 27, 2016
Great place for toddlers and young kids
We really like this place. There are lots of different things to do, even for toddlers. A little small, can get crowded, but overall great.

North Shore Dance Academy review on April 21, 2016
Our daughter loves the art classes
Our daughter is taking Ms. Mallory's arts classes and she loves it. She's learning about colors and different techniques. Ms. Mallory is very sweet. Plus, the classes are very affordable.

PARTY-N-JUMP review on March 20, 2016
Awesome
Steffanie did such an awesome job painting the kids' faces and twisting balloons at a friend's birthday party. The alien balloons were literally out of this world.

Oasthouse Gastropub review on March 13, 2016
Great food and service, outdoor seating, and nice playscape
Went to Oasthouse Gastropub for the first time today. Great food and service (when my daughter's napkin fell down - I didn't even notice - a server (he wasn't even our server) brought us a new napkin immediately). They share a nice playscape with Flores Mexican Restaurant next door. You can see your kids at all times when you sit outside. Will definitely go back.

Chuck E. Cheese's review on February 28, 2016
Would never take my kids there unless they're invited to a birthday party
Overcrowded, junk food, waste of time and waste of money. Take your kids and money to one of the other great places in the 512. Or take them outside, Austin is beautiful!

Awesome location, nice playscape
Awesome location, right on the lake, love it. Nice playscape, unfortunately no shade. Food is so-so. Definitely not on the healthy side.

Blue Corn Harvest Bar & Grill review on February 28, 2016
Great place for families
One of our favorite places to eat in Cedar Park. Kids eat free on Mondays plus kids always get free ice cream. We love to sit and kids love to play outside. We only wish the kids menu had some healthier options. But, overall: great!

Cedar Park Pediatric & Family Medicine review on February 28, 2016
We love Dr. Brent Cardwell
We love Dr. Brent Cardwell. We switched to him from Dr. Lam at North Austin Pediatrics at Cedar Park Regional Medical Center who we were not happy with at all. Unfortunately, the office staff is rather clueless and while time spent in the waiting room is rather short, time waiting in the actual examination room can sometimes be quite long. However, we're very happy with the medical care we're getting.

Cute little train for younger kids
Cute little train for younger kids (infants and preschoolers). Don't forget sunscreen in summer.

Good preschool
Good preschool, nice teachers. I wish the breakfast and snacks were more nutritional and the naps a little shorter (they're 2 1/2 hours long).

Texas Tooth Fairies Pediatric Dentistry review on February 28, 2016
Absolutely awesome
Dr. Singletary and her staff are awesome with kids, my daughters are very comfortable around them. We never have to wait long, Dr. Singletary and assistants always explain exactly what they're doing, kids get cute sunglasses for the visit and they can watch a movie of their choice (which of course is always Frozen for my daughters). My older daughter is actually looking forward to every visit.

Music Forever Music Together review on February 28, 2016
Kids loved the classes
I took both of my girls to Music Forever Music Together and they loved the classes. My older one started when she was 9 months old, my young one when she was 2 months old. We took classes until they went to preschool when they were 3 years old.
